U19 WC: Sooryavanshi’s Childhood Coach Reveals WhatsApp Tip That Sparked Masterclass Of 175
Harare Sports Club: A simple WhatsApp message and an advice to make a technical adjustment to handle bouncers proved the catalyst for Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's explosive 175 that powered India to their sixth U-19 World Cup title, said his childhood coach Manish Ojha.
The 14-year-old left-handed opener's stunning knock against England in the final - featuring 15 fours and 15 sixes off just 80 balls – helped India win the title clash by 100 runs at the Harare Sports Club on Friday and get a record sixth title.
Sooryavanshi’s whirlwind knock against England fetching him the Player of the Final award came a day after Ojha reminded his protege via WhatsApp that this was the first tournament where he had yet to score a century, and provided specific instructions on correcting a technical flaw that opposition bowlers had begun exploiting in the competition.
